Normally on a Thursday I would go to work and do the same thing I do everyday at work. This Thursday I decided to take the day off. Normally I save my vacation days for the Pagan holidays. Mabon is coming up in a few short weeks but it falls on the weekend and since I have all weekends off I have that day to spend some other way. I recently joined a group called 4 on Forty and they had a live chat today at noon my time. This was the first one and I really wanted to hear what they had to say on turning forty. I get to that in a bit.
During the week I wake up at 6am. I am not a morning person so getting up at that time is sometime a pain in the butt. This morning I slept in....till 8am! I know it was only two hours but those two hours felt great! I got up and got some coffee, something I haven't had in a couple weeks. It turned very hot the past couple weeks and I just haven't felt like coffee. But this morning I woke up to it being in the 60s! Brrrrrr Nothing better then an iced coffee on a morning like this one.
My cat has been begging for the past couple days to be let outside and he finally got to go out. With the temps being in the 90s and even 101 degrees on Monday, I just didn't want to spend anymore time then I had to outside. Albert normally runs all over the yard and I have to watch where he goes since I do live on the highway. He loved it and spent about 45 minutes enjoying the cool weather. I spent that time in a hoodie drinking my coffee and catching up with all the news that happened overnight and cant forget facebook. lol
Then for some reason I felt like I needed to clean my bedroom. Boy did I clean! I ended up throwing out 3 garbage sacks full of junk. I also sorted some of my clothes and threw away the ones that had holes or stains or things that I knew people weren't able to wear again. That felt really good to do that. Why I keep on to shorts that have holes in the crotch I will never know. That kept me busy until it was noon.
I then went to the 4 on Forty webpage to catch the google hangout. Since it is on Youtube I decided to watch it there instead. There were a few issues at first and then I watched the talk. The four lady's are all wonderful people and much smarter then I am, or at least that is how I feel at times. Its nice to know that there are women that feel like I do on turning 40. When I was younger I thought turning 40 would be the end of the world but now I know that it is a great age to be, well I'm not there yet but in 3 years. It was wonderful to hear them and I was sad when it ended. I admit I was folding laundry at the same time it was going on.
After that I could feel myself getting tired. It always seems to happen in the afternoons around 2 or 3pm. Normally when I get off work I take and nap so it didn't surprise me any that when I sat down this afternoon I took a nap. I remember as a child hating to take a nap but now I love it! The only time that I don't take a nap are the days I have a class at 530. Its a variety class so each time its different and it feels great to workout. I sometimes think that when I get tired if I just go for a walk or the gym instead I wouldn't be so tired but that doesn't happen.
So now here I am writing and listening to 60s music again, the same as I was listening to when I was cleaning. I have about 3 loads of laundry to do since I am starting to change my summer clothing out to some of my winter clothing. I am also trying to decide what to have for supper before my class at 8pm.
What a wonderful day it has been. Yes its nothing exciting as going somewhere fun but I really enjoyed myself. I love days like this where I can do whatever I want and not have anyone bother me. Plus I had the house all to myself! This never ever happens!!! Pure bliss. Hope everyone had a wonderful day in whatever they did!
